Metacentric height 1.0 ft / 0.3 m
Roll period: 12.2 seconds
Steadiness - As gun platform (Average = 50 %): 70 %
- Recoil effect (Restricted arc if above 1.00): 0.00
Seaboat quality (Average = 1.00): 2.00

Hull form characteristics:
Hull has a flush deck
and transom stern
Block coefficient: 0.440
Length to Beam Ratio: 8.33 : 1
'Natural speed' for length: 18.32 kts
Power going to wave formation at top speed: 47 %
Trim (Max stability = 0, Max steadiness = 100): 35
Bow angle (Positive = bow angles forward): 20.00 degrees
Stern overhang: 0.00 ft / 0.00 m
Freeboard (% = measuring location as a percentage of overall length):
- Stem: 17.26 ft / 5.26 m
- Forecastle (20 %): 10.99 ft / 3.35 m
- Mid (50 %): 10.99 ft / 3.35 m
- Quarterdeck (15 %): 10.99 ft / 3.35 m
- Stern: 10.99 ft / 3.35 m
- Average freeboard: 11.49 ft / 3.50 m
Ship tends to be wet forward

Ship space, strength and comments:
Space - Hull below water (magazines/engines, low = better): 48.4 %
- Above water (accommodation/working, high = better): 140.8 %
Waterplane Area: 4,775 Square feet or 444 Square metres
Displacement factor (Displacement / loading): 280 %
Structure weight / hull surface area: 48 lbs/sq ft or 232 Kg/sq metre
Hull strength (Relative):
- Cross-sectional: 1.16
- Longitudinal: 3.34
- Overall: 1.29
Hull space for machinery, storage, compartmentation is excellent
Room for accommodation and workspaces is excellent
Ship has slow, easy roll, a good, steady gun platform
Excellent seaboat, comfortable, rides out heavy weather easily

Quoted

2 - 3.94" / 100 mm guns (1x2 guns), 30.51lbs / 13.84kg shells, 1937 Model
Dual purpose guns in a deck mount with hoist
on side amidships, all raised guns

Quoted

The Liberte looks good: VERY good armor and speed, trading off a little gun power to keep the weight down (I'd have expected 42cm guns, but staying with 38cms allows more speed on the same tonnage).

Why do you think you need so much armour - which cannot be made as a single plate anyway?

Speed's expensive, and her deck armor is better than Littorios since she has full coverage with the 160mm plate, where Littorio has only the citadel covered. Also, Littorio suffers from not having enough belt armor to cover her citadel. Not to mention that she's only 1500 tons (light) heavier than Littorio, which is what, 3.5% or less? Not a lot heavier, I wouldn't say.
